Chapter 553 Weapons Become Spirits
These words were like a hammer, hammering down upon Taixuzi's heart. His face instantly turned as pale as paper, his lips trembling uncontrollably. A vision of hell on earth emerged in his mind: monstrous beasts, obscuring the sky and the sun, surged forth from the sealed land like a raging tide, their fangs bared and claws snarled, their roars deafening. Wherever they passed, houses collapsed, civilians fled, blood stained the earth, and the world plunged into endless darkness and despair.
"Then what about the gods of our human race? Where have they gone?" Taixuzi finally found his voice, but with a bit of confusion and helplessness, like a traveler groping in the dark, longing to find a ray of light.
Star Blade was startled, a flicker of distant memories in his eyes. He slowly turned his head and gazed at the jewel-blue sky outside. In it, pure white clouds drifted leisurely, light and free, a stark contrast to the heavy and oppressive atmosphere in the attic. Star Blade sighed softly, a sigh that seemed to carry the accumulation of countless years and emotion. He said, "They have all ascended."
"Ascension?" Taixuzi's eyes widened instantly, filled with shock and disbelief. His body leaned forward uncontrollably, as if he wanted to engrave every expression of Star Blade into his eyes. "Isn't that a legend? Could it be true?" His voice trembled slightly with excitement. Ascension, this word that has been passed down for a long time in the long history of the human race and is full of mystery, was now confirmed by Star Blade, which made it difficult for him to digest for a while.
Taixuzi's thoughts instantly drifted back to those ancient tome. Within the yellowed pages, the accounts of ascension were depicted in a fantastical and alluring manner. It was said that those who ascended would be freed from all worldly constraints, possessing endless lifespan and extraordinary power. They would journey to a mysterious world known as the Divine Realm, a place filled with light, peace, and eternal hope. But in Taixuzi's heart, all this had always been just a distant and ethereal legend, a dream longed for by countless yet felt unattainable.
"Senior, can one ascend to heaven after becoming a god? Then after ascending, will one go to the realm of gods?" Taixuzi asked impatiently in a series of questions, his eyes flashing with anticipation, as if the Star Blade was the key figure who could solve all the mysteries for him.
Xingchen Dao slowly shook his head again, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and regret, and said: "I don't know either. I only know that I went to another world." There was a hint of loneliness in his voice, and he could not give a definite answer to the truth of ascension.
A flicker of disappointment crossed Taixuzi's face. He had hoped that the Star Blade, an ancient entity that had endured countless ages, would know all the secrets of Ascension. But now it seemed that even the Star Blade knew very little about the world after Ascension. A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in him, as if he were facing a vast and complex mystery, yet he could find no clues to solve.
"Is it true that no one in this world knows what happens after ascension?" Taixuzi murmured to himself, his voice full of confusion and loss, and his eyes became empty, as if they had lost focus.
Star Blade looked at Taixuzi, his heart trembling slightly. He completely understood Taixuzi's feelings at the moment. Ascension, this mysterious and alluring topic, had always been like a fog, perplexing countless people. Even he, once full of curiosity and yearning for the world after ascension, but the long years gradually made him realize that some things might never have answers.
"Perhaps, when you reach that level one day, you will know the answer." Xingchen Dao said softly, with a hint of encouragement in his voice, "Now, we should pay more attention to the crisis in front of us." His eyes instantly became firm and sharp, as if reminding Taixuzi that the crisis that the human race is about to face is the problem they need to solve most right now.
Taixuzi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He knew Star Blade was right. While ascension was mysterious and alluring, the crisis facing humanity was paramount. He raised his head, his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes. He said, "Senior, you're right. We can no longer sit idly by. We must find a way to strengthen humanity and prepare for the impending crisis."
Xingchen Dao's expression was serious, with a hint of worry in his eyes. He looked at Taixuzi and slowly said, "Don't touch the top three weapons in the weapon rankings, because they will occupy the bodies of humans." His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a warning, echoing in this quiet attic.
Upon hearing this, Taixuzi's face instantly lit up with shock. His eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, as if he had just heard the most incredible thing in the world. "Possessing a human body, wouldn't that make him a spirit?" he muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly, a sense of inexplicable fear welling up in his heart. Braving himself, he looked towards the Star Blade and asked, "Then, Senior, you...?" His eyes were filled with confusion, eager to explore the secrets behind the Star Blade.
Xingchen Dao looked directly into Taixuzi's eyes with a firm and gentle look, and said, "I admire this kid very much. He is someone I approve of, so I want to save him." There was a hint of relief in his voice, as if he was recalling every moment he had spent with Lin Feng. The adventures and challenges they had experienced together made him full of trust and admiration for Lin Feng.
Taixuzi nodded slightly, his admiration for the Star Blade growing even stronger. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and then continued, "Senior, where are the other two weapons?" His eyes revealed a hint of curiosity, but also a hint of vigilance, as if he worried that the two mysterious weapons would appear at any time, bringing unpredictable danger.
Star Blade frowned slightly, a thoughtful glint in his eyes. He said, "I don't know. Perhaps he has already successfully taken over someone else's body." He paused for a moment, a look of hesitation on his face, as if considering his next words. After a moment, he continued, "I remember there are two demigods in this world. They might not be human anymore."
"What?" Taixuzi took a step back in horror, the shock on his face beyond words. His body trembled slightly, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief. "Senior, are you sure?" His voice trembled slightly, the fear in his heart surging like a tide, making it almost impossible for him to stand.
